Neonatal Cardiac Emergencies

Introduction

Take This Event

This concise, is a high-impact course designed to help residents and fellows recognize and manage neonatal cardiac emergencies with clarity and confidence. Through an engaging clinical case scenario followed by a diagram-based review, learners will focus on simplified physiological concepts to make complex conditions easier to understand and apply. The session will cover how to differentiate duct-dependent systemic and pulmonary circulation lesions using clear clinical signs and oxygen patterns, identify non-duct-dependent heart defects, and apply a structured approach to neonatal stabilization. It also includes guidance on when to initiate prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), along with its side effects and monitoring requirements. Perfect for early-career clinicians, this course turns critical knowledge into practical action.

Objectives

1- Differentiate between duct dependent systemic and pulmonary circulation by simplified criteria
2- Define non-duct-dependent congenital heart lesions.
3- Formulate a management plan for a sick neonate with suspected critical congenital heart disease (CCHD).
4- Identify appropriate indications for initiating prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) therapy and recognize its potential side effects.
